CFTR cRNAs were injected into Xenopus oocytes and evaluated for both electrophysiologic and ATP release characteristics. ΔGCl (cAMP), change in Cl conductance in response to IBMX/forskolin; GBr/GCl, halide conductance ratio; PBr/PCl, halide permeability ratio, JATP (Cl), rate of ATP efflux in the presence of extracellular Cl (pmoles ATP/min); JATP (Br), rate of ATP efflux in the presence of extracellular Br (pmoles ATP/min); JATP (Br)/JATP (Cl), halide dependence ratio of ATP efflux. Values represent the Mean ± SEM with N = number of oocytes analyzed from two to three independent frogs.
